Okay whats going on?

GTRC won't turn into a shithole, you can be sure of that.

Everyone, its Christmas, lets all spread some goodwill to your fellow Skyline friend.

^^I'm being nice. Bannation will come to those who ask for it.

FD sites are plentiful, you don't need one on a Skyline site...**rolleyes*

lol I'm just messing around JZ...

Hey you don't own a line either... I'm the RX7 version of you!

[Muss]

you should be careful who you call a goof... some people think of it as "goofy" others like myself and many of my friends know it as a jail term for a person who is a pedophile... so if you called me a goof to my face id prolly just start beating on you... and you could be my best friend

You're an odd guy.

Or does odd have some completely irrelevant, random meaning too? If so I guess I'll have to watch my back.

when i think of goofy i think of




Not something to beat someone over

[Muss]

In his defense I would consider Goofy to be the most likely of all Disney characters to be a pedophile. I mean look at the guy.

Yea I can see where this is coming from. I like the community here and believe me, it's much worse elsewhere. Those that think this forum is a lost cause clearly have not frequented many other forums. One of my first posts here was related to a project I was dealing with for school; The Need for Speed. What excites people about fast cars etc. I got an awesome response from GTRC. The same post on revscene netted me the exact garbage answers I joked about in the GTRC post. It was hilarious. The second post in my thread was someone (could have even been a mod from what I remember, had like 11,000+ posts) flaming me for my idea telling me I was gonna fail the class and look like a retard. I logged in after I got my A and told everyone the grade; the last post I made on RS almost a year ago. I've had the same experiences on other forums (SCCoA) as well, and they're a "mature" crowd (or so they claim).

At the same time, some people deserve it, you can't deny that. Maybe some people (cough*myself*cough) tend to take it into their own hands when maybe they shouldn't.

But I call a spade a spade, I wouldn't have a problem saying anything I say on here to someones face. Hell I have at some weekly meets... That's just who I am.

But at the same time I do tend to joke around with people and bust everyones balls etc. Just like Rabbit and Steve in this thread. People need to recognize that, as everyone does it.

Honestly, 90% of this "garbage" that is bringing everything down could be played off as a joke, and just having a good time with one another. In person, everyone would realize that because you could read each others body language, tone etc. We're all grown men (and the occasional woman wooo!) and seriously need to act like it. Quit crying about being ragged on already. The world is a tough place out there, learn to take a joke, accept criticism etc. Even when those guys from BC240 were ragging on my car, all I did was point out the immaturity of the forum (suggesting to do doughnuts at one of our meets and call the cops) and then LATER in the thread justify my thoughts on the ride height of my car. Everyone has their own opinion... you can't change anyones but your own.

In short, life's a bitch, and then you die.

Get over it.

I pray to the Lord baby Jesus that this is sarcasm... if not /humanityfacepalm

Rabbit got only a temporary holiday, not just for the post in question, but for past behaviour as well.

Regarding the internet being serious business, or not, consider that any community is defined by a set of standards that members agree to abide by. In the case of GTRCanada, the standards are set by JZ - site owner and admin - and enforced as reasonably as possible by Mods. By signing up, every member has agreed to these standards. There are plenty of places on the internet to trashtalk, flame, and generally defecate down the throat of anyone willing to open their mouth. Not here.

The collective opinion of the core members of the community - not just mods and admin - is that waaayyyy too many individuals are posting things that erode the foundation of what GTRC is based on. This will stop. If anyone needs a fresher, go read the rules. (They're linked at the top of every page.)

If you've got something to say that you're afraid might be inappropriate DON'T SAY IT! If you want to make the rules, go start your own site.

I hope this doesn't come across as harsh or heavy handed. It's time for a GTRC tune-up and it might hurt a bit, but the result will be a site that is better focussed on the main thing - sharing information, enjoying our cars, and enjoying the company of other enthusiasts.

Well said.
